Make sure you catch it on your webcam so you have something to talk about on your 16th birthday. We are talking sex with real women, not web porn by the way.

Most of the pill studies are funded by who... thats right the people that make the pills. Do you believe what Phillips Morris says about cigs? then why would you believe what a one sided study for pills says. Ther have been a couple INDEPENDENT pill studies that show a yonger the wqomen is the lower the % is, as younger women has different levels of hormones in their system and the pill doe snot always work. The studies have shopwn women in their late teens to late 20's are on;y in the 80% range. And that is if they follow the directions 100%.
The studies that show the pill in the mid 90's has women that are on average in their 30's to 40's.
And again the pill does NOTHING for stds.

didn't we already once go through statistics with you? Was it the EPT test we were talking about?

Anyways the pill is absolutely 99.9(I don't want to quote incorrect precision going farther)....when used correctly.

When used correctly is a blanket term to all things, basically in perfect conditions. They verify the hormone has worked, they verify both parties are not sterile, etc....is all scientific.

In real life, you have antibiotics, forgetting a pill, the body just deciding to do it's own thing etc.

Absolutely any woman in her teens or otherwise getting only 80% out of the pill is lying they followed the directions 100%. My ex fiancee got pregnant on the pill....she told the doctor she wasn't on antibiotics and took them correctly (she was 26 so she may or may not have been in that statistic)....she told me she missed three pills (probably, she lost the whole batch and kept forgetting to stop and get another one at the pharmacy).

You have to realize where statistics are coming from....no pregnant girl on the pill is going to want to admit "Yeah I am an IDIOT, I didn't take the pill for the last 2 days, had sex and now baby makes three."

Also the % effective should not change based on age (unless we are talking post-menopausal women) that % effective is showing the woman's memory and ability, not the pill itself.

Seriously if I was only batting 80% there would have been no way I survived my 20's (I am 32 now) without a couple of kids around. I have only that one case of a pregnancy on the pill and another due to not using anything pre-20's in a night of passion (yeah that was it....passion ;) ). Luckily both pregnancies terminated early.

I dunno. Sex without ondoms is awesome but i always have that feeling in the back of my head when the girl says she's on the pill, that she will forget to take it for f' up. Thats just me. I like the regualr tojan sensatives though when used

Seriously the durex extra sensitive are good, if that's your style, otherwise you
can always double up like Jim if you have that problem :)

WORST IDEA EVER. 'doubling up' creates extra friction between the two layers and can cause them both to break or tear very quickly.

And as for you asshats that keep them in your wallet... you're not doing yourself any good there either. Body heat and wear from being sat on, rubbed against, whatever while in your wallet can lead to quick deterioration of the latex.

If anyone is going to accept the responsibility of having sex, at least have the respect for yourself and the woman to do a little research, find out what works, and use precation. I'd rather use a condom properly and lose a little feeling than use one improperly or not at all and create a horrible mistake for myself or the girl that I'm with.

This being said I'm a 20 year old male and I don't whore around.

so if you don't keep it in your wallet, how are you going to have one of those one night stands? or a quickie?

Well #1, you don't stick a condom in your wallet and leave it there for the week...for one it will leave a nice 'ring' imprint. You start the night and place a new one in the wallet, if you don't get to use it throw it away.

Being only 20 and being that you don't go out whoring...you probably have about 0 experience in packing.

Get your girl one of those implanted time-release thingies. That way you don't have to worry about her taking her stupid pills religiously.

It was pretty bad actually. The only numbing/painkilling they gave me was ONE shot of lidocaine in the sack so I couldn't feel them cut my junk wide open (yes, they opened me right up). So I didn't feel the incisions on my bag but I felt EVERYTHING else.

They didn't even give me anything (prescription pain relievers) to take when I got home. :( As I understand it, they now do a much better job of numbing and they give you narcotics for the pain. Must be nice...

But it was worth it, 10 years of spontaneous, unrestricted sex has been wonderful. :heart:

Do you ever get blue-balled from the buildup of sperm?
